The present disclosure provides an inflatable shock-absorbing sole structure, which includes a sole and at least one convex arranged on the sole, an airbag room is formed in the convex, and an airbag is arranged in the airbag room, the airbag room and the airbag are stretchable and compressible. The shock-absorbing sole structure further includes a built-in air-charging device, when the airbag needs to be inflated, the air-charging device can inflate it. The present disclosure provides a shock-absorbing sole structure, the airbag room and the airbag form a shock absorption system in the sole structure, which endows the sole structure a better shock absorption effect. Further, by mounting a built-in air-charging device in the sole structure, when the air bag needs to be inflated, the built-in air-charging device can inflate it.

An interchangeable heel for a shoe wherein the interchangeable heel includes a removable heel sleeve and a heel post which is mounted on the shoe wherein the heel sleeve is releasably mounted on the heel post by an opposed lock mechanism which includes a catch mechanism on one side of the interchangeable heel and a biasing mechanism on an opposite side of the interchangeable heel wherein the biasing mechanism includes a biasing member which is provided on the heel post wherein the biasing member is arranged to engage the removable heel sleeve; a shoe having the interchangeable heel; and a removable heel sleeve for use in the interchangeable heel according to the invention.

A multi-sided, multi-purpose liner is provided for use in footwear. Each side of the liner provides one or more benefits to the wearer. The liner is reversible, such that a first side with a first benefit can contact the wearer's foot or a second side with a second benefit can contact the wearer's foot. The wearer can flip or rotate the liner so that the side having the desired benefit contacts their foot during use. One side of the liner may include a plurality of benefits in a preselected pattern across the surface. A liner kit provides a material blank from which the liner may be cut to produce a desired distribution of benefits. The benefits of the liner may vary with respect to the location on the surface of the liner, with some areas of the liner displaying an increased or decreased degree of a specific benefit.

A shape shifting orthotic sole having a cushioning layer, shape changing layer, and a sensing layer in communication, the shape changing layer and sensing layer communicatively coupled with a power source and circuitry unit which provides for default and evolving settings, and automatic and manual support settings for the shape changing region as a result of input from the sensing layer. The shape shifting orthotic sole may communicate with a cellular device and other device able to maintain mobile applications, and an IOT Health Monitoring Device during the operation of the shape shifting orthotic sole.

An article of footwear including cleat sets and/or cleat members can include provisions for maximizing traction between a chassis and multiple types of ground surfaces. In some embodiments, a chassis can include cleat sets and/or cleat members disposed in different locations to achieve maximum traction on multiple types of surfaces. In other embodiments, a chassis can include distinct types of cleat sets and/or cleat members that each maximize traction for a distinct type of surface. Each chassis includes a distinct type of cleat configuration. Different cleat configurations may be used to provide varying degrees of traction. In some embodiments, the chassis can include varying levels of flexibility, to provide user with options to customize the stiffness and support of the article of footwear.

A shoe assembly includes a base shoe (10), a removable outsole (25) and a removable cover (22). The base shoe (10) is defined by a skeleton insole (11) having a lower surface, a heel component (12), and an upper (13) rising from the periphery of the skeleton insole (11). The upper (13) defines a foot-retaining element. The removable outsole (25) is connected to the skeleton insole (11) to overlie the lower surface thereof. There is a releasable mechanism having a first part on the skeleton insole (11) and a second part on the outsole (25) to interconnect the two. The removable cover (22) is for the upper (13), and fits over the base shoe (10) to overlie the foot-retaining element. The cover (22) has a sole region provided with a sole opening for accommodation of the releasable mechanism interconnecting the outsole (25) with the skeleton insole (11). The cover (22) also has a heel opening (23) through which at least a part of the heel component (12) passes. A part of the cover (22) is located between the lower surface of the skeleton insole (11) and the outsole (25), to retain the cover (22) on the base shoe (10).

A sole structure may include chambers and a transfer channel containing an electrorheological fluid. Electrodes may be positioned to create, in response to a voltage across the electrodes, an electrical field in at least a portion of the electrorheological fluid in the transfer channel. The sole structure may further include a controller including a processor and memory. At least one of the processor and memory may store instructions executable by the processor to perform operations that include maintaining the voltage across the electrodes at one or more flow-inhibiting levels at which flow of the electrorheological fluid the through the transfer channel is blocked, and that further include maintaining the voltage across the electrodes at one or more flow-enabling levels permitting flow of the electrorheological fluid through the transfer channel.

The present invention is to continue the concept of a replaceable upper of offloading shoe, and further improve the processing capability. Thus this present invention is to reform the outsole separation structure of a replaceable upper of shoe.
